You happened upon my skeletons
and helped name them,
you see ours
and clothe them
for the funeral of all endings.
If I am Lady Death,
you are the instinct
which sings magic
over all that is tangled,
and sheds tears
to join our souls
into a force
that loves a lifetime,
till all I can hear
is the drumming of our hearts,
teaching us
that love and life
are to be lived
by the bones.
